To Jos A Humphreys From Edwin Smart Jan 11 1865

RHM_1865-206

It is ordered that the following class of persons
shall be sent beyond the lines of our army whose
presence in this Sub-District invites rebels from the
Southern armies to come among us for guerrilla and
bushwhacking purposes, and such others as against
whom can be furnished evidence of aiding, feeding,
concealing and furnishing information to the out-
laws who have infested the Sub-District during the
last four summers. In order that reliable inform-
tion, upon which to base the removal of the disloyal
element from this Sub-District, may be on file at these
head-quarters, it is ordered that a thorough enroll-
ment of this class of persons be made. The rolls
will exhibit,

1st The names of persons who have
been in the rebel army previous to 1864,
and the date when they entered the rebel
service.

2d. The names of any such as joined
Price during his raid in 1864.

3d. The names of those who have
been, or are now attached to guerrilla
or bushwhacking organizations.

4th. The names of such as against
whom evidence of aiding armed rebels and
bushwhackers, and the witholding infor-
mation of their presence and movements,
can be found.

The rolls will also show age, residence, number
of family, and amount of real and personal property
in their possession, and such other information in
addition touching each family as will enable the
military authorities to become thoroughly informed
as to who should not be permitted to remain during
the continuance of the war.

All officers serving in this Sub-District, and all
good citizens residing therein, are expected to aid in
furnishing the desired information.
